A Berkeley, California based poet, Gene Fowler's books include
Fires: Selected Poems, 1963-1976,
Return of the Shaman (1981) and
Waking the Poet (1981). He spent five years in San Quentin and his Felon's Journal (1975) and Vivisection explore how imprisonment reveals the
individual's primal needs and impulses. Fowler began corresponding with R. Buckminster Fuller in 1964. His essay
"The Synergetic Mind" imagines the poetics of Fuller's polyhedra.

Scope and Content Note

In addition to filing Fowler's letter within Chronofile volumes, Fuller maintained Fowler's letters as a distinct subset of
his Dymaxion Chronofile. The correspondence totals 1.5 linear feet of material and spans from 1965 thru 1969.

Arrangement

Although the letters were not filed explicitly by date, they follow rough chronological order.

Fuller considered the Clippings a natural companion to the Dymaxion Chronofile. Starting in the 1920s Fuller and his wife
Anne collected newspaper references to his design science. Portions of the Dymaxion Clippings spanning the years 1928 to 1963
were microfilmed under an agreement with Southern Illinois University. By the 1960s -Fuller appeared on the cover of
Time magazine in 1964- journalistic references to Fuller skyrocketed. By the 1970s Fuller guessed that newspapers around the world
referenced his work at least 3 or 4 times per day. The vast majority of the material in this series comes from the 1960s and
1970s.

Biographical/Historical note

Begun in 1947 the Dymaxion Index is an outline of Fuller's papers. Over time it became the primary tool used by Fuller's office
staff and assistants to file materials. While it remains a useful research tool, it is important to bear in mind that it is
a historical document itself and does not always accurately represent the collection in its present state.

Arrangement note

Please note: although the section headings remain fairly consistent over time, the section numbering changed. The current
arrangement of the Fuller Papers reflects that outlined in the most recent version of the Dymaxion Index while accommodating
additional materials.

Scope and Contents note

The Dymaxion Index is organic. Fuller revised the entire document in its 1947, 1960 and 1978-1981 incarnations. In intervening
years, however, Fuller and his staff updated individual sections -usually the LECO Photograph Index, Schedule of Lectures,
Projects and Days, and Fuller Photographic Exhibit- to reflect continued additions. As a result, this series is divided into
13 subseries, each representing either a distinct version of the index or a substantive revision to it.The Dymaxion Index
is both an Index, in so far as it is a guide to the various series of the Fuller Papers, and an artifact, in so far as particular
sections, like the Schedule of Lectures, Projects and Days and the Reprints are represented in their entirety.

The Fuller Patents Series contains patent and trademark applications, patent and trademark award documents, information regarding
agreements with companies and individuals utilizing Fuller patents, material on possible patent infringements, and, foreign
tax documents. The Series is divided into two subseries, Subseries 1: United States Patents, and Subseries 2: Foreign Patents.
In the United States Patents subseries, the individual patent files are typically arranged by patent registration number in
ascending order, starting with Fuller's Stockade Co. Patents in 1927 and continuing through to Methods and Apparatus for Constructing
Spheres, a preliminary invention disclosure in 1982. The material consists of print copies of official documents, typescripts,
carbon copies, photocopies, manuscripts, typed letters signed, some reprints and publications, and a few photographs. Within
this subseries, a group of folders prefixed with the term Original Patents File was found with manuscript notations written
on the original folder jackets, indicating possible inclusion in a publication. The notations are photocopied and included
with the original material. The Foreign Patents Subseries has similar types of material found in Subseries 1, but also has
a significant amount of duplicate royalty and tax receipts issued to Fuller by his attorneys.
